Lucent Technologies To Provide KT With VoIP Solution Enabling A Variety Of New Services For Business Customers
This contract follows September’s announcement of Lucent’s VoIP agreement with Hanaro Telecom, the second largest wireline and broadband service provider in Korea, and reaffirms Lucent’s position as the leading provider of VoIP solutions to Korean carriers.
Lucent’s VoIP solution will enable KT to offer innovative IP-based features that can include interactive voice response, one-number calling and web-based integrated business features that enable customers to manage their voice services via their computers as well as traditional business voice services, such as call forwarding and conference calling. KT’s enterprise customers can access their voice, data and Internet services on one network that connects to the public network, simplifying their network operation.
Part of Lucent Technologies Accelerate™ Next Generation Communications Solutions portfolio, the solution for KT includes the Lucent Feature Server, the platform delivering applications such as Hosted PBX, IP Centrex and Voice VPN, which combines innovative features with enhanced voice networking capabilities to help KT provide advanced communication services. In addition, the call recording server, presence server, proxy server, and location-based server developed by Lucent’s local business partners in Korea are included in the total solution.
“Deployment of IP Centrex to offer enterprise VoIP services is a very important phase in building out KT’s Broadband Convergence Network (BcN) because it can lay the foundation for offering advanced multimedia communication services in the future. KT focuses on developing differentiated customized services and applications for businesses,” said Cha-Hyun Yoon, KT assistant vice president. We believe that Lucent will help us find growth engines for increasing revenues while optimizing our network for convergence.”
“We are very pleased to win a series of VoIP projects from our major customers and this contract strengthens our leadership in the VoIP market in Korea,” said John Yang, president and CEO of Lucent Technologies Korea. Lucent is proud to be part of this project. Our innovative technology and our accumulated experience in the deployment of KT’s network will help KT provide a reliable, high quality network service that will open the door to a variety of useful new applications.”
During the more than 25-year relationship with KT, Lucent has provided broadband access, optical networking, switching and software solutions. The two companies recently signed a “memorandum of understanding” to collaborate on the development of a fixed/mobile convergence architecture for KT.
